vacation rotation

Vacation season is coming and I hope someone can post a good pre and post vacation rotation. I can usually get in some cardio (lots of walking) on vacation and will bring along my dynaband to do some resistance training, but I'd like to get in really great shape before going away for about 2 weeks, and have an "ease back into it" rotation when I return. I will eat as clean as possible, but won't have the control I do at home. Any ideas?

Thank you!
 
This is an interesting question, and something I've been thinking about because I'll be gone throughout the month of September -- and may not have a way to play videos or DVD's -- not many hotels have DVD or video players in their rooms.

So, I've been puzzling over this, too, mostly because I don't push myself as hard as Cathe does.x(

But I've come to the conclusion that I have to continue to exercise intensively even while I'm gone -- mostly because an entire month would just be too much to be gone from exercise.

There's a book -- I recommend this book all the time -- READY, SET, GO by Phil Campbell and he has some recommendations for intense exercise -- but outside -- I think what I'm going to do is review that book and bring it with me and just do what he recommends. One can always sprint for intensity, I suppose, and cardio is easy, one can do plyometrics (jumps) pretty easily too, I guess. Probably the hardest thing will be the weights and strength workouts, cause while I might push myself cardio wise, I don't tend to on strength exercises...

Well, there's probably not going to be anything for it but to take some weights with me, it appears -- probably light weights that I can double up.

I know this didn't answer your question, but thought I'd let you know I've thinking along similar lines, as well.

Have a good one.:7
